Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
Yes you need to have your prostate checked since you had to urinate 1-2 times a day. Every male 50 years old and above should have his prostate checked for enlargement and to screen for prostate cancer. Prostate checkup consists of a urinalysis, a serum creatinine to check kidney function, and a kidney ureter bladder prostate (KUBP) ultrasound to see the prostate size. A serum PSA to screen for prostate cancer is also needed and a digital rectal examination to feel for the consistency of your prostate gland.
